Behind The Net

Behind the Net by Stephanie Archer is a spicy contemporary romance set in the world of pro hockey, where a former high school crush turns into a very inconvenient new job. After a painful breakup derails her music dreams, our heroine takes a role as live-in assistant to NHL goalie Jamie Streicher—hot, grumpy, and determined to keep her at arm’s length.

Living under the same roof quickly tests every “strictly professional” rule. Jamie’s prickly exterior hides a surprising tenderness, and as he starts showing up for her in quiet, protective ways, her confidence—and her songwriting—begins to return. From game nights in his jersey to team parties and a shaky return to the stage, the chemistry builds with delicious slow-burn tension.

Perfect for readers who love grumpy sunshine, forced proximity, hockey romance, and spice coaching with an HEA.
